this year, i still cannot seem to get a real feeling for it. there has been a lot of sadness and loss around me lately. is it because of the age i am at, or is it something more? that said, i feel as if i am finally getting a hold of who i am, and finding that i am tired of people being so transient in my life. coming and going as if i am just a stop gap, or some place to only temporarily land.

perhaps it is my ever-battle with insecurity, but it always hurts a bit to realize that some of the people you love think poorly of you, and of your choices. yet, at the same time, i find myself growing into myself to a point where i do not think i care anymore if i am well-liked, or understood.

i get me, i get what i like and don't like, and most days that is good enough for me.

i love the entire album, but this song is my favorite on it. there is a certain time in my life, and a road trip with julia asleep in the back of the car, driving up the coast to san francisco; this song always reminds me of it.

thanks for the rest of what you wrote. trust me, this was not a melancholic post; it was actually wrote out of a place of strength. in the words of mr. barat, it was a very fuck em sentiment. i am actually learning to like myself quite a bit.

this year, a few people close to me have lost people. so much death in a few weeks time. so, it tints the month a little, stains it in sadness. yet, at the same time, i am sorting through my own rubble and rust, and underneath it all i am finding things.

and, even on the bad days, i have music. there isn't much in this world better than that (except perhaps my kids).

you know me, i'm impulsive

a girl who feels like a woman, a woman who feels like a girl, who spends her time finding herself in music, conversations, books, film and certain television shows; music is my oxygen, lyrics are my language, and words can be the most magical thing there is. i am forever drawn to the ocean, and have never felt a place on earth i feel more at peace then standing on the shore.
